Family Vacation 2010

For our vacation this year we went with my parents, one brother and his wife, one sister and her husband/kids up to Idaho. We spent a week roughing it at MFR. Here is Brandon and Jayden (his cousin) riding a train at the 4th of July picnic.

We went looking for a place to fish and my Dad's car overheated and my sister's car had a flat tire...our car made it. lol. Anyway while the guys were fixing the flat tire my sister and I with Brandon and Jayden decided to walk to the lake (her other kids stayed behind to help). The kids kept picking up rocks and for this picture they decided to put them on their heads. sigh!

The ranch has this cool slide that the kids loved to go down. Here is Brandon going down for the 100th time lol.

Here are the kids getting ready to go river rafting. Looks like fun!

Going fishing.

Here is Brandon and Daddy. Brandon had just caught his very first fish! Boy were we (and still are) proud! Only 6 years old and he caught 4 fish during the whole trip.

Snow Canyon, Utah

Well, last week we drove to St George and spent the weekend at Snow Canyon. We had a blast! On Friday after the long drive we played in the pool. It was a little windy but my boys had fun!

Saturday morning we went to Snow Canyon and took a couple of guided tours of the area and even saw some lizards :)

Goofy boy posing in front of a cactus.

Stoped by Cove Fort on the way home. They are looking to see who's at the door. lol

Before we left St George we stopped at the temple for a couple of pictures.
So here they are sitting on the front steps of the St George Temple. cool huh!!

We had a wonderful time and Brandon has discovered that he loves hiking and going on "family vacations."

"families are forever"

By the way 17 years ago today I married my sweetie at the Salt Lake Temple. Love ya Babe!

easter

Waiting for me to tell him he could go find the eggs.

"I found one."

Cool! What did the Easter Bunny bring? We had a wonderful Easter. After conference we went to Mom and Dad's and had more food and fun with family.

Our Kitty

We have a train robber, highway man, Godzilla or just a curious kitty. You decide. Brandon and I put together his train track and our kitten decided that she too should investigate. Here are the results. Brandon is laughing so hard he just couldn't stop. It was hilarious.

Out of order but Brandon turns 6!

Brandon turned 6 in Febuary and boy was he excited! He had his first birthday party and had lots of friends over. Here are a couple of pictures.

Happy St. Patricks Day

We were trying to take a picture of us as a family for St. Patricks Day......these are the results :) This one is good.

whoops, what happened to Brandon?

Awww! What a cutie.

LOL! Eyes are closed :)

Aw, here we go. Happy St. Patricks Day everyone.

Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Brandon is old enough to remember what it was like last year and was so excited. As soon as he got up Christmas Eve morning he was ready to go to Grandma's and Papa's house (my sister said the same thing about Jayden). This picture is from a week before Christmas.

We get together at my parents house on Christmas Eve, eat tons of food and then and have the grandkids reinact the nativity story. Brandon is a shepherd this year. He has 7 boy cousins so they have to take turns being Joseph (he was last Joseph last year). After that it's PRESENT time!!!!!
Well the computer wont let me post any more pictures. I will try later. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and hope you all have a wonderful new year.
